Obama Jedi Mind Trick: Bayonets were only new military item added to banned list for police

The other items on the list are not currently being supplied to police by the pentagon. Deception, thy name is Obama.

President Obama's new restrictions on transferring Defense
Department equipment to local police, in reality, adds only one new
piece of gear to the "banned" list: the bayonet.
Every other item on the "prohibited equipment list" released Monday was already a no-go for the Defense Department, a senior defense official told the Washington Examiner.
In 1999, the Pentagon banned the transfer of grenade launchers, which
civilian law enforcement was using to fire tear gas. It banned transfer
of tracked vehicles, predominantly the M113 armored personnel carrier,
in 2011. The department continued prohibiting the transfer of .50
caliber or higher firearms and ammunition to local law enforcement since
the intra-agency transfer program began in the early 1990s. The same
went for weaponized aircraft and vessels, which were never provided.

Another item on the prohibited list, camouflage uniforms, hasn't been transferred by the Pentagon since 2008.
"The department was not providing a majority of the items on the
list," said the senior defense official who asked not to be identified.

Not surprisingly, none of the mainstream media pointed this out, not even FOX News.
